vorable. A somewhat damp barn-yard
in which hogs run, and where they
root over litter and mix the dung OF
cattle and horses, is favorable to max
ing manure, but the gain in fertilizing
material is probably obtained at loss
in the condition of the animals kept IN
such place. With a scraper and
shovel the manure can be removed to
a part of the yard where it will decom-
pose under the most favorable condi-
tions, and where its presence will not
interfere with the comfort of stock. 1t
can often be piled in a corner to excel.
lent advantage. A strong fence Will
furnish support on two sides, and
wall of stones or sods can keep it in
place on the other sides. Every morn

dro?pings can be thrown into this re-
ceptacle, and the remainder of the yard
kept neat and clean.-Chicago Times.

Senator Sherman says: 1.-The

begun" Right you are, John. 1t has
to work for a living now, like other
folks.-Sdr Francisco ALtd.
We have sometimes wondered
where Senator Hoar found some of his
antique political issues. 1t seems that
he is an active member of the Amer
lean Antiquarian Society. What is
not effective craftsmanship may be,
after all, an intelligent study of an
tiquity, but it is unfortunate to get
them mixed.-Bosto1s Herald.
Another mail from Cuba has ar
rived with news confirming the story
that bandits sought to capture John
Sherman when he was in that island
and hold him for a ransom. The
child-like innocence of these man.

stated that they expected to get $780,

Roscoe Conkling's scepticism as
to the ability and honesty of the Re-

than ever. There are lots of ''ques-

and then act up to its convictions. "
Mr.. Conkling is evidently convinced
that the Republican party has come to
a pass that debars it from receiving the
confidence and support of American
voters. argus.

ANTIOUATED METHODS.
A Silly Republican Attempt to Catch the
Colored Vote of Pennsylvania

A Silly Republican Attempt to Catch tho
Colored Vote of Pennsylvania
There are still Rip Van Wrinkles
among the Republicans of this State
who find it hard to realize that the
times are so far changed; that the peo-
pie have so far advanced toward an APP
probation of the same state of affairs
as to no longer take any stock, so to
speak, in certain ancient methods of the
demagogue which once worked SO well
for the accomplishment of partisan
ends.
1t is hard for this class of individ-
uals to understand that the bloody
shirt has lost its ensanguined hue and
is no longer efficacious to incite to
desperate conflict against the enemy;
hat the Southern outrage mill lies in
luins, and that many like expedients
once used to fire partisan zeal and
arouse sectional hatred are now clothed
in the moldy vestments of clay.
In view of this state of affairs as we'll
as in view of the record which the
United States Senate made for Itself
whes it refused to confirm Democrat
ic President 5 appointment of colored
man as recorder of the District OF Co
lumbia, the Civil-Rights bill introduced
by Representative Schneider into the
Pennsylvania Legislature comes with
bad grace.
This plan to tickle the vanity and Sc
cure the votes of his colored constitu-
ents which Representative Schneider
has just discovered is such an ancient
scheme that it is pity some friend did
not advise him to try something not
quite so ancient or transparent. The
world moves, and the colored people
of Pennsylvania are educated away be-
yond that sort of thing at present writ
ing.-Hoyrss6urg (PG.) Patriot

The Ridiculous Position OF . Number OF
Republican Leaders.
The attempt of the Republican man.
ayers to reach an agreement upon
issues for the campaign of 1888 only
serves to emphasize the radical diff
ferences in the party. John Sherman.
Republican Senator from Ohio, bears
witness to to ''the honesty of purpose
and the heroism with which the Con-
federates maintained their cause"
"Bilr' Chandler, who aspires to be
Republican Senator from New Ham p
shire, denounces this as "a monstrous
doctrine" Oliver Ames, Republican
Governor of Massachusetts, outlines a
platform for the party, which concludes
thus: ut proposes that education
shall be so extended, especially in the
South, that illiteracy shall cease to be
a menace to our institutions"-in other
words, that the National Government
shall contribute millions to the support
of schools in the South, as proposed by
the Blair bill. But Joseph r. Hawley.
Republican Senator from Connecti-
cut, says of this project: The
tendency of the day is to go to the Ma
tional Government for help in hun
dred things. 1t is asked, for example,
that it shall take charge in very great
measure of education, shall dedicate
millions of dollars a year to the educa-
ton of the children of the several
States, necessarily following that. in a
greater or less degree, the Government
shall intermeddle with the whole bust
ness This tendency towards
consolidation of the entire powers of
Government is one of the strongest
to-day and one of those most dam
gerous to the republican expert
ment, as our fathers understood
it" 1t is certainly calculated to puz-
zle the man who wants to be good
Republican when he finds one leaders
position as to the proper attitude of
the party toward the ex-Confederates

leader, and a third leaders, plank as to
the relation of the General Government
, to the States characterized as s'most
dangerous" by fourth.-M. 7. Post.

Roscoe coNKLINc.
Grants Great Champion an Advocate
OF High Principles.

OF High Principles.
The distinguished New York stall
wart, Roscoe Conkling. is exceedingly
fond of asserting that there is no future
for the party with which he was long
identified unless it shall take forward
step in some direction and emphasize
some principle. To one of the Grant
birthday committee he wrote: 1.-The
survival of the fittest among political
organizations now asking public con-
fidence might be realized by the re-
vival of the Republican party, provided
it can discover the questions deserving
of attention. take the right side of
them, and then act up to its convic-
tons" This is true enough, and there
is need of such a revival in the Re
publican party; but the same thing was
true when Roscoe Conkling was one of
the leaders of the Republican party.
His advocacy of principle and of adher-
ence to conviction at this time would
be more attractive if, when he
was a conspicuous political chief
himself, he had ever had a prin-
ciple or a conviction regarding any
thing higher than the offices. Roscoe
Conkling did not retire to private life
because politics had become too cor
rupt degraded and unprincipled for
him, but because he failed in an at
tempt to dictate the patronage of the
State of New York. He never had an
idea above the offices. He was a blind
partisan, a political chieftain who was
in public life for the benefit of himself
and his friends, and man who, moro
than any other American who has OBJ
tanned prominence, looked upon his
position and the power which it gave
him from purely selfish standpoint.
The only great movement that he was
ever identified with conspieuously was
that for a third term for General
Grant, and the motive in that case was
a personal one. Roscoe Conkling has
some good qualities, but he is not the
man to give anybody lessons on
principle and devotion to conviction.
The Republican party of to-day, mere
spoils-mongering and monopoly-foster-
ing institution, is exactly what he and
others like him made it. Chicago Her

SPITEFUL OPERATORS.
How Employees of Telegraph Omces Handle
"Rush" Messages.

crush" Messages.
Never write crush" across the face
of a telegram. If you do you will re-
tard rather than accelerate its despatch.
Employees of telegraph offices pay no
more attention to a message with such
an inscription on it than pOst-office
men do to letters marked on the en-
vclope, I'm haste" Very important;
forward as soon as possible, Deliver
Immediately" and with other phrases
of like import.
II always SMILE" said retired
operator, "when think of the way we
boys used to treat rush messages in
the Western Union office. Some
blooming jay would come in and want
despatch showed through in a hurry.
He would write Rush across its face,
thinking that would help it along.
Now, the idea of such a thing. Just
as if every thing wasn't rushed in a
telegraph office-that is, if left toitself.
The boys look upon any thing like that
almost as personal affront What is
the consequence The receiving clerk
takes the message, frowns little when
the rush comes to view, receives the
money, says all right and the sender
walks out complacently. Then the
clerk picks up the despatch again.
looks it over slowly, toys with it, and
smiles. Just here two OF three
other persons come in and he lays
aside the rush to wait on them.
Finally he takes up his. little pile of
messages, puts the rush at the bottom
and hands the batch over to the record
clerk When the record clerk comes
to the rush message he also smiles.
AS it is the last on his desk he plays
with it for awhile, practices pennlan-
ship it (does the Spencerian act, you
know, takes his time in recording it
in fact, does every thing but rush it.
From the desk of the record clerk the
messages are given to the operators by
the file boy. He, too. has a great anti
pathy for rush messages. II all the
operators are not at leisure he supplies
those who are from she top Of the pile
and sticks the rest On hook. If there
IS . rush in the lot it always goes on
The hook. The upshot of the whole
matter is that this precious piece Of
paper, with its Immensely important
communication which the sender
wanted rushed is about the last
dispatch sent out ~ Y Sun.
